The Scientist II, Marketplace role

Uber scientists solve marketplace problems with ML, optimization, causal inference and experiments across delivery, maps, membership and pricing. The title is ‘Scientist’ rather than ‘Data Scientist’, hiring is rolling through Uber’s careers site, and the open reqs skew Senior and Staff.

A dedicated Science function with its own ladder (reqs show Levels 4, 5 and 5B; levels.fyi lists seven DS levels) spanning marketplace, pricing, maps and experimentation, where the work is ML, optimization and causal inference.

Worth knowing: Uber’s September 23, 2026 Scientist II req is one multi-team posting covering delivery logistics, membership, maps and experimentation — and none of the 617 reqs open on October 11, 2026 is titled ‘Data Scientist’.
